While Chen Xuanxuan was stunned, her family came over with more than a hundred people. After
more than a hundred men and women joined in, the Gu family and the five brothers of the Yu family, who had been beating fiercely just now
, stopped one after another. Because they had no choice but to stop at this moment.
After all, whoever dared not stop would be beaten by the old lady Liu and her group.
After both sides stopped fighting, the elders of the Gu family who had been pretending to persuade the two to stop fighting stepped forward and gave Gu Yanzhang and the others a beating, saying, "You young people are really something. You are indeed young and hot-blooded, and easily impulsive. It's not a big deal to make you get violent?" "
We are obviously a family. You can't write the same word "Gu" twice. Even if there is any misunderstanding between you brothers, why can't we sit down and talk about it together?"
"Yes, yes, you are just too young and ignorant!"
Hearing this, the old lady Liu standing in the first row smiled at them sarcastically.
"You said those nice words! Six people beat up my son-in-law, bullying the weak with numbers, etc., aren't you just being hypocritical?"
"I'm telling you, if you beat my son-in-law to death or injure him, it won't be your Gu family's business! It concerns my daughter's happiness for life. If anything happens to him, I'll ask you to pay for it one by one! Anyway, I'm not afraid of those wearing shoes even if I'm barefoot. I'll go to the government office and sue you in person!"
When the old lady Liu said she was going to sue them, all the Gu family members present looked unhappy.
What is the government office? !
In their place, there has been such a saying since ancient times. "The entrance of the government office faces south. If you have a reason but no money, don't come in!"
Once people like them enter the government office, they will either shed a bucket of blood or lose a layer of skin. That place is not a good place.
How can they have the ability of Liu to treat the government office as their own?
When they thought that Liu just found a capable lover and lived a comfortable life, everyone had to give her face and everyone had to look at her face, the Gu family members present began to curse her in their hearts. They
felt that she was a typical bully! She
was causing trouble to the village!
She was not a decent family!
Although all the Gu family members, big and small, wanted to curse old lady Liu in their hearts, no one dared to confront her at this moment.
After all, they had indeed benefited a lot from her family over the years.
Every summer and autumn, when they went to the government office to pay grain and taxes, Chen Daming would come forward to intercede for them. In this way, the people of their Gu family could pay less money. They would not be delayed by the difficulties caused by the yamen runners, delaying the time for them to pay grain and taxes.
In the past years, they basically asked Chen Daming to come forward for everything that had to do with the government. This saved them a lot of money and a lot of trouble.
...
Seeing that everyone had calmed down and didn't dare to say anything, old lady Liu snorted coldly.
After calling Chen Daming and Chen Xiaoming and helping Gu Yanzhang up, she looked at him carefully.
She found that her son-in-law was beaten with a swollen nose and face, blood at the corners of his mouth and eyes, and his clothes were torn. Old lady Liu couldn't help but lose her temper.
"Look, look, are you bullying people like this? Do you think my son-in-law is easy to bully, or do you think my face is worthless?"
"I can tell you, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I will never forgive you stinky boys! From now on, don't ask my family for help!" Here
, all families have to do corvée labor every spring. During
the corvée labor, if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Even if this is not the case, some people will get seriously ill when they return home. People
with poor health are very likely to not survive.
Old Lady Liu was very well-known in this area, not only because she had found several capable men as lovers, but also because she would use her connections and resources to run businesses in this area with her eldest and youngest sons.
If those poor families really couldn't make ends meet and wanted to borrow some food from her, she would be generous. She would lend directly without charging any interest. And those people, seeing that she was a woman with a wide network of contacts, a sense of loyalty, and that she did things properly, were also happy to borrow and repay. No one dared to take advantage of her or bully her on purpose.
Therefore, when Old Lady Liu said this, the elders of the Gu family immediately turned their attention to the six people just now, as well as some other Gu family boys who beat up Gu Yanzhang.
"All of you kneel down in front of me now!"
The dozen or so Gu brothers felt ashamed when they saw their father glaring at them and asking them to kneel down in front of his son.
Some of the tougher ones stood there stiffly, motionless.
Some, seeing that the situation was not right, knelt on the ground after hesitating for a while.
Seeing that they were unwilling to compensate, the old lady Liu looked at them deeply for a few times, and then asked her sons to quickly pull the donkey cart over.
The son-in-law was beaten with a black eye and swollen eyes, but at least he could still stand up at this time.
If he was really beaten accidentally, he might die in a few days.
No matter what, she still wanted to send her son-in-law to Tongzhen. Find a doctor there to give him a thorough check-up.
No matter how much money it costs, he must be well. Otherwise, wouldn't her third daughter be a widow at such an old age?
It would be difficult for a widow with six children to remarry.
Although she had already prepared several candidates in her mind. But she felt that if the daughter could not be used in the future, it would be better not to use her.
In her opinion, men were still too troublesome.
Thinking of this, old lady Liu called Chen Xuanxuan to take the children with her and lock up the new house. Take away everything that should be taken away.
After Mrs. Liu made the arrangements, the head of the Gu family, Gu Yuxi, slowly came here.
When he heard the people in the family talk about the whole story, he immediately showed a trace of unnaturalness on his face.
This matter, ... he had not thought of it.
In Gu Yuxi's opinion, it was inappropriate for his family members to come to Gu Yanzhang's door to make trouble.
Isn't this deliberately offending people?
